Eye Of The Water⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: F Norton| T: R Harris| OR: 61| C| D

8/1

Course winner. Thirty runs since last win in 2019. 6/1, not in the same form as previous start when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Can get involved off current mark.

Form: 442536

Kenstone^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 59| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Off further 7 weeks, below form when eighth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Ffos Las (8f, soft) 21 days ago. Returns to all-weather having dropped back down to his last winning mark.

Form: 758258

Ebury^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 59| BF

2/1

9/4 and blinkered for 1st time, not ideally placed when fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 26 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark now with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 564694

Danah Star¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ray Dawson| T: H J Evans| OR: 59

12/1

Failed to come on for recent run/stable debut when tenth of 15 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 13 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 698250

Crystal Dawn^t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: D H Brown| OR: 56| BF| D

2/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in September. 7/2, unlucky not to finish closer when third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, not clear run entering straight. Leading contender.

Form: 080713

(5)

Say Grace⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 54| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Again shaped better than result when seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 7 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Others still preferred.

Form: 734067

Vintage Fashion¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: D P Quinn| OR: 52

125/1

First run since leaving Sarah Humphrey, below form when ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 28/1) 18 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 626759

Harbour Storm⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: R Brisland| OR: 48| C

12/1

Sole success from 24 Flat runs came here back in 2018. 9/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 47 days ago. May just find others stronger again.

Form: 426933

(3)

Pensa Te¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 49

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event at this C&D (150/1) when last seen 6 months ago. Type to do better now handicapping.

Form: 839

(10)

Ower Starlight⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R Hannon| OR: 46

7/1

20/1, ran well when second of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 9 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has been going the right way this year so can give another good account.

Form: 06-9832

(8)

Giant Steps^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 45

28/1

One win from 26 Flat runs. Struggling for form of late, sixth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to soft, 22/1) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. On a good mark but has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 523906

Forecasts

Crystal Dawn (2/1), Ebury (2/1), Ower Starlight (7/1), Eye Of The Water (8/1), Danah Star (12/1), Harbour Storm (12/1), Kenstone (22/1), Pensa Te (25/1), Giant Steps (28/1), Say Grace (40/1), Vintage Fashion (125/1)

CRYSTAL DAWN has returned to form on her last 2 starts for her current yard, ending a long losing run at Chelmsford before meeting trouble when third at this C&D a week ago. The 6-y-o is taken to get the better of Ower Starlight who has been going the right way this year, while Eye of The Water is also capable of getting involved.
